Tennessee Basketball head coach Rick Barnes reportedly visited with 5-star prospect Nate Ament yesterday.
The Vols are all-in on the highly-touted small forward, according to VolQuest’s Grant Ramey.
(If you were wondering, it’s pronounced “ayy-ment” — not “ah-ment” or “amm-ment.”)
Ament is a consensus 5-star player, ranking as the No. 4 overall prospect in the 2025 class according to the 247Sports Composite.
The 6-foot-9 star would be Tennessee’s highest-ranked commitment ever, says Knox News.
Ament visited the Vols in January for the Kentucky game at Thompson-Boling Arena, which UT lost 78-73.
